BlackBerry plays well with others – when they come out with a product on one carrier, it often appears pretty quickly on other carriers as well. So we made sure to give Sprint a call when Verizon Wireless announced their BlackBerry Curve 8530, an upgrade to the popular BlackBerry 8330 that gives it a faster processor, new OS version and a tiny touchpad instead of the trackball.

Sprint confirmed that yes, they’ll be getting it too – though they didn’t lock down a date or price other than that pricing would be “aggressive.” Verizon’s version is $99.99. We’ve seen T-Mobile’s similar (albeit non-3G) BlackBerry 8520 for as low as $48.88 with a two-year contract. Think Sprint could match that?
